The invention relates to deflectors for use on gas stoves for deflectingfumes so that they will not impinge against the wall of the kitchen, ordirectly against the" top of the stove. The invention is shown in theaccompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 isa front View. Fig. 2 is avertical section from front to rear. r r

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view from side to side of the appliance.

Fig. 4 is a bottom plan View.

In this drawing 1 is the chimney to be mounted on the collar of thestove, said chim- 1 ney being of elongated cross sectional form withrounded ends. The rear wall of the chimney extends above the level ofthe top edge of the front wall, and to this rear wall extension a hoodis secured composed of a rear wall substantially in the vertical planeof the rear wall of the chimney, said walls being secured together byrivets, or other 7 wall portions of the chimney. By this constructionthe only outlet for the fumes emanating from the gas stove is at thefront of the h'ood,and it will be noticed that the hood is of elongatedform inrespect to the long dimension of the chimney, so that said hoodreaches considerably beyond the curved end walls of said chimney.

By reason of the flaring construction of the hood, that is, increasingin volumetric capacity towards the front, a free discharge of the fumesfrom the gas stove is provided for not only directly in line with thechimney,

but out beyond the chimney at both sides thereof, and this dischargetakes place in a forward direction only so that the fumes are directedaway from the walls of the'kitchen, and are not directed downwardlytowards the top of'the stove.

There is a grille plate 5 extending over the Open fmnt Ofthe hood, Saidgrille platepreferably being formed of cast metahthough the invention isnot limitedin this respect. The grille is made up of bar portionsconnecting with each other, and other bar portions which extend into thespaces, and have free terminal end portions. This grille plate issecured to the hood by ears 6 on'the hood bent into engagement'with theend edgesot I i the grille plate. The grille plate is also secured tothe front rivet at 7.

I claim:

'1. A deflector forithe fumesofgasstoves comprising a chimney portiontofit the collar Wall of the chimney by a of the gas stove, a hoodattachedtosaid chim- V ney, said hood being of elongated form andreachlng beyond the opposite sides of the chimney portion, said hoodbeing made up of a top, back and end walls, together with. bottom wallportions between the saidend walls and the adjacent sides of thechimney, o

the-discharge opening from said hood being only at the front thereof,substantially} in the samev vertical plane with a front wall portion ofthe chimney, the rear wall of the hood being substantially in the samevertical plane with a rear ney;

2. A deflector according to claim 1 in which the top wall of the hoodextends upwardly and forwardly at an. inclination.

wall portion of the chim- 3.A deflector according toclaim 1 in which theend walls of the hood incline out- 1 wardly from rear to front 4. Adeflector according to claim 1 in which the top and bottom walls of thehood wall attached to the upward. extension of the pipe rear wall andsubstantially in the same vertical plane'therewith, said hood havdivergeforwardly and the end walldiverges than the front wall, a hood having aback ing top and bottom walls diverging forwardp? 10 fili ly inrespectto each other, and ends Walls also diverging forwardly in respect toeach other, the bottom Wall extending from the end Walls to the curvedends of the pipe and a rille at the front opening of the hood, at-

tached-Vt'o saidhood and to the front wall of the pipe, substantially-asdescribed.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
